What's New

The latest USLCI version 2026-09 update is live on Earthster, bringing 819 new and 695 refreshed datasets across freight transport, combustion, and water infrastructure.

🌍 Only on Earthster, our team enhanced the raw data so you don't have to patch it yourself:

• Upstream data gaps are pre-linked to BAFU and the US Electricity Baseline, reducing missing inputs from 20% to 5%.
• Every dataset comes prefilled with mass properties for EPDs and ready-to-use FLAG tags.
• Sibling databases CORRIM and the US Electricity Baseline received the same treatment, reducing CORRIM gaps from 50% to under 1%.

We improved the Sankey diagram to make it fully interactive and customisable.

Simply open the Cycle Analysis, configure your table or apply an existing preset, and switch the view to the Sankey diagram to explore your hotspots from a brand new perspective.

🔀 New interactive controls:

• Freely pan, zoom, and drag blocks to tailor your layout
• Export the finished view directly as an SVG image

Analyzing and exporting your LCA results just got much more dynamic!

With the new cycle Analysis feature, you can create custom tables and bar charts with just a few clicks, using cycle items as rows and indicators as columns.

📊 Key capabilities:

• Create custom tables to analyse your LCA results
• Visualize the results with the integrated bar chart view
• Save & reuse analysis presets across any of your cycles
• Share your presets with your team
• Export the analysis results to XLSX, CSV, PDF, DOCX, or HTML
• Export the bar charts directly as high-resolution SVG graphics

The new release brings 200 new infrastructure datasets (roads, machinery, sewer systems) and refreshed existing data.

In addition, BAFU 2026 features enhanced genre categorization and integrated mass/energy properties, available exclusively on Earthster.

We’ve completely redesigned how you export your data. Instead of scrolling through long lists of report types, the new drawer focuses on getting you what you need instantly.

Here is what’s new:

• 🔍 Search-first layout: Instantly find any report type without scrolling.
• ⭐ Favorite reports: Pin your most-used exports to the top.
• 🕒 Recent history: Quickly re-download or check your latest export types.

We just added a new report type called "Climate change results - Including own cycles". This streamlined report automatically includes your own cycles, providing a focused yet in-depth view of your default climate change results.

This new feature combines automatic data quality scoring with the option to manually refine or override the scoring as needed.
